WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.140 changes in your skin, you're probably looking 00:00:02.140 --> 00:00:05.139 at your skincare routine, but have you considered 00:00:05.139 --> 00:00:09.320 what's on your plate? Today we're exploring the 00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:11.640 connection between nutrition and skin health. 00:00:12.380 --> 00:00:14.820 Working about key nutrients, foods to avoid, 00:00:14.939 --> 00:00:18.480 and tips to help you. I'm Doreen, content and 00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:20.399 brand strategist and former esthetician. I'm 00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:22.960 Suzanne, Sudesco certified esthetician with over 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:26.699 30 years, former spa owner and now educator mentor 00:00:26.699 --> 00:00:29.640 to business pros. There's more and more people 00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:33.719 finding that their skin's changing and they don't 00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:35.179 know what they've done different. They're looking 00:00:35.179 --> 00:00:37.719 at their regime. It's the same. It hasn't changed. 00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:40.740 So what else is going on? So a lot of times not 00:00:40.740 --> 00:00:42.479 saying that you have to become a nutritionist, 00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.520 dietitian, but just understanding a bit more 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.159 about it I think would help if you're trying 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.340 to help yourself as an SD or maybe your clients 00:00:51.340 --> 00:00:54.039 as well. What's going on with this? This is just 00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.179 in general information, right? When you look 00:00:57.179 --> 00:01:00.689 at what's going to achieve healthy glowing skin 00:01:00.689 --> 00:01:03.750 and you're doing everything right from what you 00:01:03.750 --> 00:01:06.409 see, the right products, the right steps. You're 00:01:06.409 --> 00:01:08.290 not overdoing it. You're getting treatments, 00:01:08.489 --> 00:01:11.030 you're resting, you're sleeping. You think you're 00:01:11.030 --> 00:01:13.090 doing everything, but sometimes we forget that 00:01:13.090 --> 00:01:16.409 nutrition side and the unfortunate events that 00:01:16.409 --> 00:01:18.629 happen with it when we choose the wrong things. 00:01:18.989 --> 00:01:21.950 It's two part like as the beauty professional, 00:01:22.090 --> 00:01:25.250 the esthetician listening or watching, it can 00:01:25.250 --> 00:01:29.310 be something that you look out for your yourself. 00:01:29.370 --> 00:01:31.969 We did just do an episode about, you know, the 00:01:31.969 --> 00:01:33.810 struggles that a lot of estheticians have with 00:01:33.810 --> 00:01:37.390 their own skin. And it's a lot of big reason 00:01:37.390 --> 00:01:39.730 why we get into the industry. Also look effective 00:01:39.730 --> 00:01:43.750 of guiding your clients. But, you know, as we 00:01:43.750 --> 00:01:47.849 are going to say to you, we are not nutritionists 00:01:47.849 --> 00:01:50.750 and we're not giving nutritional advice and neither 00:01:50.750 --> 00:01:53.549 do you. But it's something that you can point 00:01:53.549 --> 00:01:58.359 out that they can look for themselves. Like there's 00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:00.819 times where you know I've seen clients and you 00:02:00.819 --> 00:02:03.280 know they tell me it's like oh my god I don't 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:07.400 know why I feel so dry this week and it's okay 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.400 so you're following the regime that we discussed 00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:12.400 we're going through all of that everything looks 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:16.240 good coming in for her facial again um then I 00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:18.979 asked them so tell me about your weekend what 00:02:18.979 --> 00:02:22.340 did you do and like oh we went camping we hiked 00:02:22.340 --> 00:02:25.830 a lot we spent a lot of time in the sun or Went 00:02:25.830 --> 00:02:29.009 skiing and all the colds right the drive. I said, 00:02:29.009 --> 00:02:32.009 okay, so how was your water intake over the weekend? 00:02:32.509 --> 00:02:35.430 You know, it's you have to dive into it a little 00:02:35.430 --> 00:02:38.810 bit Because they're looking for answers from 00:02:38.810 --> 00:02:41.629 you because you're the person guiding them in 00:02:41.629 --> 00:02:44.669 their treatments and skincare Right, or maybe 00:02:44.669 --> 00:02:47.139 they're getting I don't know their pedicure is 00:02:47.139 --> 00:02:48.919 done and they're talking about their skin to 00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:50.900 you. Like it could be the different service, 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:55.340 but when you look at nutrition itself, it's just 00:02:55.340 --> 00:02:58.280 essential overall health, but the skin is hugely 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.719 impacted by the choices that we make as well. 00:03:01.740 --> 00:03:04.699 And I think we don't have enough information, 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.500 we rely on what the food industry is telling 00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:11.240 us, and they're not there for our, well, not 00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.389 all of them. A lot of them are not there for 00:03:14.389 --> 00:03:17.729 our interest, our best interest. They're looking 00:03:17.729 --> 00:03:22.349 at for convenience sake, quick, cheap, ready 00:03:22.349 --> 00:03:24.490 to go. You know what I mean? Like they're not 00:03:24.490 --> 00:03:26.509 there to tell you, oh no, don't buy that package. 00:03:26.629 --> 00:03:29.610 You should really buy all your vegetables and 00:03:29.610 --> 00:03:31.909 cut them, wash them, cut them and prepare them 00:03:31.909 --> 00:03:35.810 yourself. They're not going to be offering that 00:03:35.810 --> 00:03:37.870 type. Not saying that's what you need to do, 00:03:37.870 --> 00:03:40.310 but that's just an example. So I am a holistic 00:03:40.310 --> 00:03:43.189 nutritionist, not a dietitian, they're very different, 00:03:43.229 --> 00:03:46.930 but I look at nutrition because I got into it 00:03:46.930 --> 00:03:48.969 because overall health and it would help me, 00:03:48.969 --> 00:03:51.069 but it also helped my family, it helped my clients 00:03:51.069 --> 00:03:54.229 to understand a little bit more. And these are 00:03:54.229 --> 00:03:56.590 just general tips and you can find this all online. 00:03:57.009 --> 00:04:00.229 It's not just my information here. Like one of 00:04:00.229 --> 00:04:04.270 the things if we look at it, being the largest 00:04:04.270 --> 00:04:08.520 organ, It has specific needs nutritionally for 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.939 it to repair itself as well. We can't just keep 00:04:10.939 --> 00:04:13.159 scrubbing the skin and hope that it does well, 00:04:13.379 --> 00:04:16.079 right? Like there's more to it than just that. 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.980 There's a big puzzle to this, if you wish, and 00:04:18.980 --> 00:04:20.620 everyone's gonna be different because you have 00:04:20.620 --> 00:04:23.519 genetics, you have everything else. But basically, 00:04:24.100 --> 00:04:27.160 big one is we wanna boost collagen. So because 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.740 we know collagen production is going to make 00:04:29.740 --> 00:04:32.920 us look younger or help slow down the aging process, 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.019 that pro -aging side of things. So how does that 00:04:36.019 --> 00:04:38.120 correlate into nutrition? Doesn't mean you have 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.720 to start taking collagen or do like maybe you 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:43.699 want to talk to someone about that first, but 00:04:43.699 --> 00:04:46.480 just giving that idea. The other simple thing 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.980 is hydration. When our bodies have enough hydration 00:04:49.980 --> 00:04:53.720 in our system, then it's not going to take away 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.600 from the skin because our lungs need it, our 00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:58.839 digestive tract needs it, like there's so much 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:00.680 more. There is a reason why if you took a full 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:02.560 aesthetics program, why they went through the 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.930 whole human system. it's there's a there's a 00:05:05.930 --> 00:05:08.589 purpose behind that all right but the big one 00:05:08.589 --> 00:05:12.089 is the hydration and that's one of the first 00:05:12.089 --> 00:05:14.189 things that we talk about but maybe that maybe 00:05:14.189 --> 00:05:15.790 you've said it to your client but you never really 00:05:15.790 --> 00:05:17.970 explained why well you know you should drink 00:05:17.970 --> 00:05:20.970 more water but why should you drink more you 00:05:20.970 --> 00:05:24.050 know so let them know maybe that's the specific 00:05:24.050 --> 00:05:26.069 because i hear i hear estes out there saying 00:05:26.069 --> 00:05:28.050 oh yeah you should drink more water you know 00:05:28.050 --> 00:05:31.069 well what does that mean right how much water 00:05:31.069 --> 00:05:33.410 why do i need it that type of thing and i always 00:05:33.410 --> 00:05:37.019 said Every cup of coffee you have or any kind 00:05:37.019 --> 00:05:38.819 of caffeinated drink, you should be having two 00:05:38.819 --> 00:05:42.120 glasses of water for that one that you have. 00:05:42.740 --> 00:05:45.339 So it's helping them understand how dehydrating 00:05:45.339 --> 00:05:47.879 some things are that we're drinking and then 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.279 not having enough of it, right? The other thing 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.660 is inflammation. We've been hearing about inflammation 00:05:52.660 --> 00:05:56.879 in our bodies a lot. And so what does that look 00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.160 like? Well, when we're inflamed, that's going 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:05.430 to be a whole snowball effect with our bodies. 00:06:05.850 --> 00:06:07.250 And of course it's going to eventually affect 00:06:07.250 --> 00:06:11.189 the skin, right? And then we look at like cell 00:06:11.189 --> 00:06:13.649 rejuvenation, these are all about skin, right? 00:06:13.649 --> 00:06:16.269 When you hear all this, we know this is all impacting 00:06:16.269 --> 00:06:18.970 the skin, either all of it is or some of it is. 00:06:19.350 --> 00:06:22.709 And we want smoother, radiant, younger looking 00:06:22.709 --> 00:06:27.129 skin without having to do other alternatives, 00:06:27.269 --> 00:06:30.180 if I can put it that way. Right? So what can 00:06:30.180 --> 00:06:33.220 you do as simple as looking from the inside out 00:06:33.220 --> 00:06:36.000 is really what this is about. You know what? 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.379 You are what you eat. That old saying, you are 00:06:38.379 --> 00:06:41.339 what you eat. Yeah. It's true. So you can do 00:06:41.339 --> 00:06:43.660 all of the treatments you want, all the professional 00:06:43.660 --> 00:06:46.519 treatments, you can all the products, buy all 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.439 the products, but if they don't have that healthy 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:53.079 lifestyle and nutrition point, they're going 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.819 to blame you. I've spent all my money. but maybe 00:06:55.819 --> 00:06:57.899 you should say have you considered looking and 00:06:57.899 --> 00:07:01.160 talking to a dietitian about the food but you 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:02.779 need to know a little bit about it and it's going 00:07:02.779 --> 00:07:05.620 to resonate i'm sure with you estes out there 00:07:05.620 --> 00:07:08.939 because we know it in our ingredients but we 00:07:08.939 --> 00:07:12.379 forget about it in our plate you know or our 00:07:12.379 --> 00:07:16.939 drinks or what we're eating so you know a couple 00:07:16.939 --> 00:07:20.019 couple nutrients to go through for healthy glowing 00:07:20.019 --> 00:07:22.740 skin so vitamin c that's a big one out there 00:07:22.740 --> 00:07:25.569 we know vitamin c is really great for collagen 00:07:25.569 --> 00:07:28.129 formation and protection of the skin. So it's 00:07:28.129 --> 00:07:31.449 going to help against the oxidized stress in 00:07:31.449 --> 00:07:34.730 our cells as well. And we look at our skin as 00:07:34.730 --> 00:07:38.009 that aspect, but, you know, eating it is another 00:07:38.009 --> 00:07:41.230 way to give it inside our body. So our skin can 00:07:41.230 --> 00:07:44.850 take on what it can from products or even we'll 00:07:44.850 --> 00:07:46.990 call it the leftovers nutrients in our body. 00:07:47.050 --> 00:07:50.050 If there's more to spare, then, you know, the 00:07:50.050 --> 00:07:52.730 body's going to disperse it in order of where 00:07:52.730 --> 00:07:56.209 it's needed. Right. So that's your citrus fruits, 00:07:56.449 --> 00:07:59.029 your berries, bell peppers, like there's so many 00:07:59.029 --> 00:08:01.230 things that have vitamin C in it. It doesn't 00:08:01.230 --> 00:08:03.370 just have to be your serum per se, even though 00:08:03.370 --> 00:08:05.790 that's great, but inside out, right? Vitamin 00:08:05.790 --> 00:08:09.129 A aids in that cell turnover and helps to balance 00:08:09.129 --> 00:08:12.189 oil production as well. And some easy sources 00:08:12.189 --> 00:08:14.610 of vitamin A are your carrots, sweet potatoes, 00:08:14.850 --> 00:08:18.209 leafy greens, you know, kale. Yay to the kale. 00:08:18.750 --> 00:08:20.980 Just kidding. Most people like ooh kale. They 00:08:20.980 --> 00:08:23.139 don't like kale or spinach, but there's other 00:08:23.139 --> 00:08:27.139 things you can have right Vitamin E is another 00:08:27.139 --> 00:08:31.040 source that to look at provides antioxidant protection 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:34.460 Supports the healing side of things too. So this 00:08:34.460 --> 00:08:38.419 is like your almonds Sunflower seeds avocado 00:08:38.419 --> 00:08:43.159 now on that side of it. Those are your good fats 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.299 Okay, we need that but just because it's good 00:08:46.299 --> 00:08:48.600 for you doesn't mean you eat a bag of almonds 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:51.759 Right? There's a certain amount that you eat. 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.399 Well, Suzanne was saying on a podcast that you 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.559 should eat this. So they're eating tons and tons. 00:08:56.980 --> 00:08:59.100 When you're dealing with healthy fats, just be 00:08:59.100 --> 00:09:01.259 mindful of the quantity that you're having. So 00:09:01.259 --> 00:09:02.720 then you wonder why you're putting on weight. 00:09:04.019 --> 00:09:07.279 Yeah. Yeah. Like sunflower seeds, it's a small 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:09.519 serving. Same with almonds, but I know it's hard 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.879 to stop sometimes, right? Another form is zinc. 00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.240 And this one's interesting because it actually 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.740 reduces inflammation. and support skin repair. 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.580 So your sources are, we're in the fall right 00:09:22.580 --> 00:09:25.899 now, pumpkin seeds, legumes, seafood if you like 00:09:25.899 --> 00:09:29.159 it, but you can kind of research what's, maybe 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:33.299 you'd look at your own diet and if you're using 00:09:33.299 --> 00:09:35.679 apps out there, you can actually look at the 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:38.539 nutrition level, the recommended amount, and 00:09:38.539 --> 00:09:39.940 it'll tell you how much you're really having. 00:09:40.539 --> 00:09:42.200 So that's another way you could do it or even 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:43.940 recommend to your client. Have you ever considered 00:09:43.940 --> 00:09:45.539 like we've been doing everything right? You're 00:09:45.539 --> 00:09:47.919 doing this, you know, your skincare right? you're 00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:49.960 doing the treatments we're following everything 00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:51.899 but there's something else what's going on here 00:09:51.899 --> 00:09:54.340 right and stress and nutrition were one of them 00:09:54.340 --> 00:09:57.299 but we'll talk more about the nutrition side 00:09:57.299 --> 00:10:00.299 i think sleep is always usually a big one too 00:10:00.299 --> 00:10:02.720 huge and because if you're not sleeping your 00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:05.980 body's stressed right so for sure for sure it's 00:10:05.980 --> 00:10:09.759 a repairing time uh incelium is the last one 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.000 on the list here and that protects skin from 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:16.279 uv induced damage And sources are Brazilian nuts, 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:19.379 eggs, fish. Again, you can look it up to find 00:10:19.379 --> 00:10:21.059 some things. I just want to keep it simple. Of 00:10:21.059 --> 00:10:23.279 course, there's tons of vitamins and nourishment 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:26.580 out there, but when you correlate it to skin 00:10:26.580 --> 00:10:29.980 care, a lot of this is in our skin care. But 00:10:29.980 --> 00:10:32.700 are we eating it too? So those are little things 00:10:32.700 --> 00:10:34.500 of what you can do. And it's a small amount. 00:10:34.700 --> 00:10:37.179 Like I remember someone introducing avocado to 00:10:37.179 --> 00:10:39.750 their life. having a quarter of an avocado every 00:10:39.750 --> 00:10:42.210 morning on their toast and it was just this little 00:10:42.210 --> 00:10:45.889 bit of nourishment and they realized that their 00:10:45.889 --> 00:10:50.009 cravings for sugar lessened as well so when your 00:10:50.009 --> 00:10:53.669 body's functioning well and has the nourishment 00:10:53.669 --> 00:10:56.809 it needs you will have less of those types of 00:10:56.809 --> 00:10:59.889 cravings as well. Okay number two so we kind 00:10:59.889 --> 00:11:01.590 of talked about vitamins and minerals number 00:11:01.590 --> 00:11:04.870 two is healthy fats. Fats are vital for maintaining 00:11:04.870 --> 00:11:09.210 supple and hydrated skin. And everybody, especially 00:11:09.210 --> 00:11:12.809 if you're in my age category, it was like the 00:11:12.809 --> 00:11:14.929 fat -free world at one point, and it was the 00:11:14.929 --> 00:11:18.389 worst thing for us. And they're trying to recalibrate 00:11:18.389 --> 00:11:21.570 everybody into realizing, hey, it's actually 00:11:21.570 --> 00:11:25.710 not bad for you. So omega -3 fatty acids reduces 00:11:25.710 --> 00:11:28.809 inflammation, improves barrier function as well. 00:11:29.490 --> 00:11:33.710 Those sources are salmon, chia seeds, walnuts. 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:36.639 there's I mean there's more than that but that's 00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:39.419 kind of your top ones that are easy to do out 00:11:39.419 --> 00:11:43.860 there. Your monosaturated fats support elasticity 00:11:43.860 --> 00:11:48.659 and hydration and sources are olive oil, avocados, 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:51.200 nuts and you want to think about your cold pressed 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:55.000 olive oil. You don't again need much it's a dribble 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.440 on maybe on your salad or on your food that type 00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:00.779 of thing. It works really well for the skin as 00:12:00.779 --> 00:12:03.600 well so again think of the ceramides we're putting 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:06.759 on the skin. It's all fatty, good acids to our, 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.779 fatty acids to our skin. So same for our bodies. 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:14.860 And then protein for skin repair. And I think 00:12:14.860 --> 00:12:18.559 too, for female side of things, we tend to not 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.539 eat enough protein sometimes. So taking a look 00:12:21.539 --> 00:12:23.779 at that, I remember the other day, someone told 00:12:23.779 --> 00:12:26.559 me, oh yeah, I realized that I wasn't, I'm not 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:29.230 eating any protein. I go. What do you mean by 00:12:29.230 --> 00:12:31.450 that? And they're like, I don't last time I really 00:12:31.450 --> 00:12:34.370 had something protein. So then she's like, I'm 00:12:34.370 --> 00:12:36.250 going to go buy some protein shake. So I remember 00:12:36.250 --> 00:12:38.750 she didn't want to just chew. We also think protein 00:12:38.750 --> 00:12:41.710 only comes from an animal source, which it doesn't. 00:12:41.789 --> 00:12:44.309 So people should consider that. But in her mind, 00:12:44.350 --> 00:12:46.769 it was so she had taken a protein drink. And 00:12:46.769 --> 00:12:48.610 I said, well, that's better than not having it. 00:12:48.610 --> 00:12:51.490 That's for sure. But protein provides the amino 00:12:51.490 --> 00:12:54.649 acids necessary for collagen and elastin synthesis, 00:12:55.250 --> 00:12:58.259 which we're striving for in our skin. Right? 00:12:58.419 --> 00:13:00.620 So keep that in mind. The sources can be lean 00:13:00.620 --> 00:13:06.360 meats, tofu, lentils, chickpeas, eggs. You know, 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:08.759 when you think of even like black beans, like 00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:10.740 I've done hummus, everyone traditionally usually 00:13:10.740 --> 00:13:13.419 does chickpeas, I like to do with black bean 00:13:13.419 --> 00:13:16.019 works really well too. So or a combination of 00:13:16.019 --> 00:13:20.500 the two just to mix it up. And then for hydration 00:13:20.500 --> 00:13:24.120 for skin radiance, can't talk enough about this. 00:13:25.619 --> 00:13:27.639 The one thing too is first thing in the morning 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:30.399 if you can little tip is to have a glass of water 00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:32.919 If you're not used to drinking water first thing 00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:35.480 in the morning You might want to do only half 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.559 a glass because you might feel a little upset 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.259 your stomach and your first week I just mentioned 00:13:41.259 --> 00:13:44.120 to people just do half a glass The second week 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:46.740 go to a full glass and that's first thing when 00:13:46.740 --> 00:13:49.039 you wake up It's really important for your body 00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.120 to have that and they're actually saying even 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:53.100 before you go to bed You should have a glass 00:13:53.100 --> 00:13:55.259 of water as well And people think, but then I 00:13:55.259 --> 00:13:56.820 have to get up in the middle of the night. It's 00:13:56.820 --> 00:13:59.100 like, well, you know, boo hoo you. This is about 00:13:59.100 --> 00:14:01.519 your health. There's a lot more, a lot more things 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:02.899 that are going to go wrong for you if you're 00:14:02.899 --> 00:14:08.059 dehydrated. So, but adequate water intakes, you 00:14:08.059 --> 00:14:10.700 know, helps flush the toxins and maintain that 00:14:10.700 --> 00:14:13.460 plump glowing appearance of your skin. Include 00:14:13.460 --> 00:14:16.679 water rich foods. So you think of your cucumbers 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.220 and oranges and watermelon, but that doesn't 00:14:20.220 --> 00:14:22.639 mean the whole watermelon. I know summertime. 00:14:23.620 --> 00:14:26.080 I can't. I did it once. It's like, oh my god, 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.440 so delicious. I had way too much. I was so bloated. 00:14:28.620 --> 00:14:31.480 It was terrible. But, you know, change it up 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:34.360 through your day so you can also get water -rich 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:36.960 foods as well instead of just thinking slugging 00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:40.120 water down. Coffee has water in it and that counts. 00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:43.039 Coffee does have water in it and you're right. 00:14:43.820 --> 00:14:45.720 And then on top of the two cups you're going 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:49.289 to take because of the coffee. That's actually 00:14:49.289 --> 00:14:52.370 why I started telling some some folks to have 00:14:52.370 --> 00:14:54.149 a have a glass of water before your coffee in 00:14:54.149 --> 00:14:56.830 the morning Yeah, it just helps right and it 00:14:56.830 --> 00:14:59.450 is liquid for sure But it's just depends on how 00:14:59.450 --> 00:15:01.889 strong that coffee is much caffeine is happening 00:15:01.889 --> 00:15:04.289 in there But but then there's that whole talk 00:15:04.289 --> 00:15:06.809 about caffeine is good for you, too So I yeah, 00:15:07.289 --> 00:15:09.049 no, no, and we're just gonna talk about water 00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:12.679 Nobody knows they should drink more water, me 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:16.080 included. And brain function. I mean, when you're 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.539 dehydrated, it doesn't work very well. Mine needs 00:15:18.539 --> 00:15:22.159 all the water it can handle because what's wrong 00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:28.559 with me right now? Yes, I personally got into 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.080 the habit because I'm busy all day. Like you 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:32.860 said, it's three o 'clock. My God, I had no water 00:15:32.860 --> 00:15:37.080 today. I now carry it on me. If I leave the house, 00:15:37.100 --> 00:15:39.600 I fill up a water bottle with me and bring it. 00:15:40.299 --> 00:15:42.460 I do more than that, but just as a general, if 00:15:42.460 --> 00:15:45.080 I'm in and out, then I do that to make sure I 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:47.559 always have a full bottle of water for my drive 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:50.360 home. And my goal is to make sure I drink that 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:53.620 from work on my way home or an appointment anywhere 00:15:53.620 --> 00:15:56.139 I'm disappearing to to go for the day or a few 00:15:56.139 --> 00:15:58.940 hours. I bring a bottle of water and then I look 00:15:58.940 --> 00:16:00.539 at it because it's there. Oh, my God. I didn't 00:16:00.539 --> 00:16:03.600 even drink any of it. So I'm chugging it on the 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.980 way. But keep in mind, when you drink water and 00:16:06.980 --> 00:16:09.960 you drink it too fast, your body will just naturally 00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:12.919 take it out and make you go to the bathroom right 00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:15.820 away. So you do need to take a half an hour to 00:16:15.820 --> 00:16:19.419 an hour to finish like a good size 32 ounce bottle 00:16:19.419 --> 00:16:21.179 of water. Those are kind of the average sizes, 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:25.559 right? But keep that in mind. Yeah. So, okay, 00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:28.000 let's talk about food. Just some general real 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:30.500 small things of how they can affect your skin 00:16:30.500 --> 00:16:33.779 health. So certain foods, we've heard this already 00:16:33.779 --> 00:16:36.580 and it's all over social media, triggers inflammation 00:16:36.580 --> 00:16:40.279 or disrupts hormone balance as well as a big 00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:44.299 one so ladies going through perimenopause, menopause 00:16:44.299 --> 00:16:46.840 that type of thing this is coming out even more 00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:48.779 now because they're wondering why all of a sudden 00:16:48.779 --> 00:16:52.220 they're breaking out right so it can change things 00:16:52.220 --> 00:16:55.240 and you become all of a sudden it's like well 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.559 god i i was eating that all the time before what's 00:16:57.559 --> 00:16:59.700 the problem now it's like your body will finally 00:16:59.700 --> 00:17:02.519 say okay i'm done right so it will eventually 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:06.269 say it's over no more of that We hear it and 00:17:06.269 --> 00:17:08.789 it sounds sad, but you know the refined sugar 00:17:08.789 --> 00:17:12.390 and processed carbs It's it's a big one, and 00:17:12.390 --> 00:17:15.130 it's not that you have to eliminate it all I 00:17:15.130 --> 00:17:18.269 guess but the less you do the less you have the 00:17:18.269 --> 00:17:21.410 better so if you're a person that you know really 00:17:21.410 --> 00:17:25.690 has that High processed carb world in your in 00:17:25.690 --> 00:17:28.309 your you know on your plate or in your drinks 00:17:28.309 --> 00:17:31.589 Refined sugar as well, then maybe start by okay. 00:17:31.750 --> 00:17:34.759 What can I cut? Be reasonable about it because 00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:37.819 if you go cold turkey, it's really tough It's 00:17:37.819 --> 00:17:40.539 tough to do because now you have to start thinking 00:17:40.539 --> 00:17:44.039 about another way to eat or drink and that's 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:46.500 not simple So don't stress on it. Just cut it. 00:17:46.539 --> 00:17:50.099 Like if you know in the morning you do a quick 00:17:50.099 --> 00:17:54.319 Unwrap a bar and eat it Okay, what else could 00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:56.440 you do just in the morning? Just focus on your 00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:59.720 morning. Yeah, right and that might be the best 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:02.339 small steps. Yeah, definitely and then Try it 00:18:02.339 --> 00:18:03.920 out for a little while. You'll get better at 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:05.900 discovering what you like, what you don't like, 00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:08.480 what's easy, what's ready. How do I prepare my 00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:11.759 day? And then a month or so, whatever you're 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.119 ready is okay. Next is okay lunch because I'm 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:17.500 always, you know, ripping open a bag of whatever. 00:18:18.980 --> 00:18:20.599 And you know, people say, well, I buy those pre 00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:23.480 -made salads and open it up and it's all salad 00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:25.779 inside. It's all greens. I go, yes, but the dressing, 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:28.660 you have to look at the dressing now. So that's 00:18:28.660 --> 00:18:31.579 all refined sugars and processed stuff galore. 00:18:31.789 --> 00:18:33.809 Basically, if you can't pronounce the words, 00:18:34.089 --> 00:18:37.190 it's probably not very good for you, right? And 00:18:37.190 --> 00:18:40.609 it spikes insulin and worsens acne. So when we 00:18:40.609 --> 00:18:43.710 talk about the rise of diabetes right now, even 00:18:43.710 --> 00:18:45.750 in our younger, younger, younger people that's 00:18:45.750 --> 00:18:48.910 happening. So, but basically on the skin side 00:18:48.910 --> 00:18:52.009 of it, that's probably going to worsen the breakouts. 00:18:52.150 --> 00:18:54.309 And as I mentioned, the highly processed foods, 00:18:54.730 --> 00:18:56.890 definitely linked to premature aging as well, 00:18:56.950 --> 00:18:59.890 again, because just there's no nourishment in 00:18:59.890 --> 00:19:03.700 it for our bodies, you know. Dairy can be a touchy 00:19:03.700 --> 00:19:06.400 subject because some people love it or don't 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:09.940 love it, and I just mention it because, you know, 00:19:09.980 --> 00:19:12.660 I grew up with it. I had a glass of milk at every 00:19:12.660 --> 00:19:15.859 meal. I had it. It was just how it was. But, 00:19:15.900 --> 00:19:19.220 you know, I had some adverse effects that as 00:19:19.220 --> 00:19:21.740 I got older, I'm like, oh, that was probably 00:19:21.740 --> 00:19:24.500 why. So dairy for me, I have to just limit how 00:19:24.500 --> 00:19:27.779 much I have. It's not that it's bad for me, but 00:19:27.779 --> 00:19:30.700 too much of it is just not good for me personally. 00:19:31.849 --> 00:19:33.549 That's usually one of the things that they'll 00:19:33.549 --> 00:19:35.589 eliminate out of your diet if you go see someone 00:19:35.589 --> 00:19:38.049 and say, let's knock the milk products out and 00:19:38.049 --> 00:19:40.890 see if this helps and a few other things. But 00:19:40.890 --> 00:19:44.170 yeah, dairy contributes to hormone acne in some 00:19:44.170 --> 00:19:45.750 individuals. So if you're wondering what the 00:19:45.750 --> 00:19:47.930 breakouts are, that's what you want to look at. 00:19:48.990 --> 00:19:50.849 So if you're breaking out out there and you're 00:19:50.849 --> 00:19:53.609 wondering what's different, like here's a few 00:19:53.609 --> 00:19:56.170 things that we just captured. And the last one 00:19:56.170 --> 00:20:00.150 is alcohol because it is very dehydrating to 00:20:00.150 --> 00:20:04.720 the body. And depending on your age and your, 00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:07.920 we'll call your genetic makeup of your skin, 00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:11.640 it can intensify redness too. So does it bring 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:14.839 out the flushing in your skin? Is it the rosacea 00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:17.299 is coming out more, right? Like if you're wondering, 00:20:17.420 --> 00:20:19.299 you've been diagnosed by your dermatologist or 00:20:19.299 --> 00:20:23.309 medical profession. person that says, well, you've 00:20:23.309 --> 00:20:26.029 got rosacea. Well, there are stages to rosacea. 00:20:26.049 --> 00:20:28.490 So you got to learn to cut back on things. So 00:20:28.490 --> 00:20:30.269 you don't want to get into stage three and four 00:20:30.269 --> 00:20:33.410 because that's starts to change your whole, again, 00:20:33.910 --> 00:20:37.049 collagen fibers and everything. So, but you know, 00:20:37.049 --> 00:20:40.049 it's balance. It doesn't have to be zero, but 00:20:40.049 --> 00:20:43.490 it's just balancing. Moderation is key. And just 00:20:43.490 --> 00:20:45.130 really seeing, of course, you can still have 00:20:45.130 --> 00:20:48.690 your cake as they say, but maybe not every day. 00:20:50.419 --> 00:20:53.839 Yeah, you know, that's, you know, there's also 00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:56.500 special considerations to, you know, to look 00:20:56.500 --> 00:20:58.660 at when it comes to skin conditions is like, 00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:00.980 you know, every client is going to be unique. 00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:03.339 We're all unique individuals. You know, what 00:21:03.339 --> 00:21:05.559 I have and what you have are very different during 00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:08.940 sometimes, right? So, but, you know, I learned 00:21:08.940 --> 00:21:10.619 from what people tell me is, oh, I can't have 00:21:10.619 --> 00:21:12.359 that because it does this to me. I'm like, oh, 00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:14.799 really, that's interesting. I wonder what if 00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:16.980 it really affects me, I've never noticed or, 00:21:16.980 --> 00:21:19.319 you know, things like that. So, you know, but 00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:23.359 conditions like acne, rosacea, eczema, hyperpigmentation, 00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:27.140 because hyperpigmentation can be hormonal. It's 00:21:27.140 --> 00:21:31.079 not always the sun. But it can be tailored differently 00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:33.900 for nutrition for these people with professional 00:21:33.900 --> 00:21:36.019 guidance, right? Like, I would really encourage 00:21:36.019 --> 00:21:39.059 people to reach out to a dietitian and discuss 00:21:39.059 --> 00:21:41.180 all these things to see if it will definitely 00:21:41.180 --> 00:21:45.480 help you. But like on that note, on, you know, 00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:48.400 You're going to advise your clients to always 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:51.220 consult with a health care provider first, not 00:21:51.220 --> 00:21:54.200 to change anything, a registered dietitian, because 00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:56.579 they're under that umbrella as well. They usually, 00:21:56.779 --> 00:21:59.440 a lot of them work with doctors too, or doctors 00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:02.599 have access to them, so they can refer you. But 00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:05.140 I wouldn't suggest just go out and say, oh, well, 00:22:05.140 --> 00:22:07.099 she said to vitamin C, so I'm going to start 00:22:07.099 --> 00:22:09.440 taking it. Well, there's maximum amounts you 00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:11.339 should take. And then what else are you taking? 00:22:11.420 --> 00:22:14.599 Because it can counter. off the other one, like 00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:17.019 whatever you have for medications or anything. 00:22:17.259 --> 00:22:19.119 So always, always consult with someone is really 00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:21.079 important. You know, that's what this is about, 00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:23.980 right? When you can give information to people, 00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:27.119 it's not that you're the resource to everything, 00:22:27.220 --> 00:22:29.640 but you're helping truly your client because 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:31.980 then the healthier they are, the more results 00:22:31.980 --> 00:22:34.339 you're going to get. And that's what it comes 00:22:34.339 --> 00:22:37.880 down to, right? But, you know, make it simple. 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:39.940 Like, for example, people have probably heard 00:22:39.940 --> 00:22:42.819 this eat the rainbow. So The more colors on your 00:22:42.819 --> 00:22:45.240 plate, the better for you, higher in antioxidants, 00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:48.819 and change it up. You know, I remember we didn't 00:22:48.819 --> 00:22:51.119 see it too often for a long time, but carrots 00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:53.920 actually weren't, they didn't, did you know that, 00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:56.059 fun fact, they didn't, they weren't orange when 00:22:56.059 --> 00:22:58.900 they first started having carrots in the world. 00:22:59.380 --> 00:23:02.400 That was all modified later. Have you ever seen 00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:04.980 the rainbow carrots with the reds and all that, 00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:07.559 the yellow and all that? Yeah, that was originally 00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:09.119 how they were. And then I don't know why the 00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:11.630 industry... I mean, I don't know, I'd have to 00:23:11.630 --> 00:23:13.750 look up the research, but a long time ago, I 00:23:13.750 --> 00:23:15.630 learned that on a school trip with my kids when 00:23:15.630 --> 00:23:17.430 they were really little. Like, oh my God, I had 00:23:17.430 --> 00:23:20.089 no idea. What do you mean? And now you can see 00:23:20.089 --> 00:23:22.069 it sometimes, right? So that would be eating 00:23:22.069 --> 00:23:24.089 the rainbow when you have your carrots, because 00:23:24.089 --> 00:23:27.230 they're all different ones. Snacks are really 00:23:27.230 --> 00:23:30.150 good. So maybe think of smart snacking. You know, 00:23:30.170 --> 00:23:32.730 like we talked about the seeds and nuts, some 00:23:32.730 --> 00:23:36.410 fresh fruits, good. Over your rip open a package 00:23:36.410 --> 00:23:39.319 to eat something quickly. and I get it I've done 00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:41.240 it too it's like oh my god I need to have this 00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:43.079 stuff but if it's not in my cupboard I can't 00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:47.319 have it and stay hydrated right aim for that 00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:50.759 consistent water intake and an easy one too is 00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:52.940 like I mean it's so unique now that you can find 00:23:52.940 --> 00:23:56.440 these little USB chargeable little blenders right 00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:58.680 so you could package everything and make yourself 00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:00.700 a quick smoothie so you're getting everything 00:24:00.700 --> 00:24:03.000 you're getting your berries you're getting your 00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:06.970 your maybe your flax seed or chia your antioxidants, 00:24:07.390 --> 00:24:09.589 your protein like you can do a lot in the smoothie. 00:24:09.750 --> 00:24:12.569 Not everyone likes the smoothie but you know 00:24:12.569 --> 00:24:15.470 I spun it into a pudding idea when you put chia 00:24:15.470 --> 00:24:18.069 seeds in it it'll actually form more into a pudding 00:24:18.069 --> 00:24:20.829 so I've done that where I get bored of smoothies 00:24:20.829 --> 00:24:22.509 and I say oh I'll just drink half of it and the 00:24:22.509 --> 00:24:24.950 other half I'm gonna make and have it for tomorrow 00:24:24.950 --> 00:24:27.309 or something into a pudding so I feel like it's 00:24:27.309 --> 00:24:30.009 you know blueberry dessert or something so with 00:24:30.009 --> 00:24:35.650 my chocolate protein drink. But you know it I 00:24:35.650 --> 00:24:37.950 think for the beauty pros out there whether it's 00:24:37.950 --> 00:24:41.430 personal like we said we did an episode on this 00:24:41.430 --> 00:24:43.950 You might be going through changes and that's 00:24:43.950 --> 00:24:46.349 just part of life that happens to all of us But 00:24:46.349 --> 00:24:49.130 maybe dive into more or with your clients I think 00:24:49.130 --> 00:24:51.630 you know integrating integrating that nutritional 00:24:51.630 --> 00:24:54.349 awareness is something we just don't think about 00:24:54.349 --> 00:24:57.130 and Like you don't have to be the pro in this 00:24:57.130 --> 00:25:00.049 but knowing about it and what to do about it 00:25:00.049 --> 00:25:02.349 Just helps your clients even more and yourself 00:25:02.569 --> 00:25:04.950 But I mean, this doesn't happen overnight, right? 00:25:04.970 --> 00:25:08.329 So we have to take time. It's small, little steps, 00:25:08.650 --> 00:25:11.410 wins all the time for, you know, that long term 00:25:11.410 --> 00:25:16.250 effect. But if we think balancing diet, professional 00:25:16.250 --> 00:25:19.630 skincare, proper hydration, those can all help 00:25:19.630 --> 00:25:23.089 the skin in the end. So I think you'll thrive 00:25:23.089 --> 00:25:26.390 in the end for that over time. But, you know, 00:25:26.390 --> 00:25:29.230 as I mentioned, please, please make sure that, 00:25:29.230 --> 00:25:31.809 you know, you're advising them to see a professional. 00:25:32.460 --> 00:25:34.740 this even when they come and talk to it I've 00:25:34.740 --> 00:25:36.880 had people talk to me about it and said oh I 00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:39.559 learned that Moringa is very good for me and 00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:42.180 you know they talk about this and it's okay but 00:25:42.180 --> 00:25:44.960 you know you take medication too so you take 00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:47.599 other supplements have you consulted with anyone 00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:49.940 to make sure you're taking the right amount and 00:25:49.940 --> 00:25:53.160 some things you don't take at the same time like 00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:58.480 for example yeah my mom takes a blood pressure 00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:01.789 pill has for forever and ever and it was only 00:26:01.789 --> 00:26:04.589 this year by I don't even know how I came across 00:26:04.589 --> 00:26:08.230 it that you shouldn't have a banana with it because 00:26:08.230 --> 00:26:10.450 it interferes with the absorption of the pill 00:26:10.450 --> 00:26:13.450 while the digesting guess what my mother has 00:26:13.450 --> 00:26:17.569 had with her pills for like 30 years a banana 00:26:17.569 --> 00:26:21.349 and this was just last year when I came across 00:26:21.349 --> 00:26:24.970 this I'm like no this so it's just interesting 00:26:24.970 --> 00:26:27.190 information right and they're learning they're 00:26:27.190 --> 00:26:39.329 always learning that's true yeah That's true. 00:26:39.910 --> 00:26:42.549 If you have any tips or tried something that's 00:26:42.549 --> 00:26:46.289 worked, let us know.
